B.......

Half way through the Craft Barn Alphabet Challenge and the letter B. I was tempted by Beautiful Butterflies and Bees but settled on "Bunting". I was intigued by the defintion in my old dictionary, that it applied to "the woollen fabric from which flags of ships are made" and also that it was the name of a bird.  I had a look at the bird and was delighted to find there is one called a Painted Bunting. What a beauty, not found in the UK unfortunately.

I went with the more modern use of Bunting. As usual I turned to gelli prints, one for the background and one for the flags and a couple of birds. The poles are just strips of corrugated card.

Thinking about this oviously worked into my subconcious and last night (this morning) I dreamt I was making the most wonderful collage.  As I woke up the image faded, no matter how hard I tried to capture it and by the time I was fully awake it had gone completely.  Ah well.
